My main use case for CloudBolt includes having a centralized self-service provisioning and orchestration, allowing me to manage hybrid and multi-cloud provisioning across AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, and other cloud providers. I also leverage the platform for policy-driven cloud governance to enforce cost and compliance guardrails to our end customers, cost and usage visibility through chargebacks and showbacks reports, and infrastructure automation where CloudBolt integrates with various infrastructure as a code platforms, ITSM platforms, and workflows. One specific example of how my team uses CloudBolt for self-service provisioning is that we have customers with footprints spread across public and private cloud environments, and we provide a centralized self-service platform where predefined blueprints or templates are available for them to provision resources. They can select the target cloud environment and provision resources using these templates. Another real-world example includes chargeback or showback, where we create different groups in the organization and use the platform to provide reports based on their resource consumption. My main use cases for CloudBolt are self-service provisioning, governance and cloud guardrails, cost and usage visibility, and infrastructure automation.

One use case for CloudBold is creating blueprint templates for multiple clouds. Another is cost management or optimization. There is a piece that comes along with CloudBolt called Kumolus, and there is a lot of interest in that side of cost management.
CloudBolt is very useful for a customer currently using the multi-cloud model, and wants to manage everything on a single console, e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure, or their VMware infrastructure. There are also multiple things we can do through CloudBolt which are important. One thing we can do is to schedule power on and power shutdown so those processes are automated. I was able to implement it even in the trial version of the platform. They have a free trial for some servers where the license is not required, so I implemented it on my test environment and that worked fine with me. Another thing we can use CloudBolt for is VM deployment on the cloud. We need to install the Ansible tower and configure it, but through CloudBolt, we can deploy everything on the cloud.

Our primary use case for this product is for a mixed set of services, including providing IT, multi-cloud management, single pane of glass control panel, providing metering and charge-back capability, role-based access control, and other things. It's a long list. My focus specifically is with regard to the data center and cloud. Enterprise businesses are using this solution. We use this solution ourselves as well as for our clients. We're a partner with CloudBolt and I am a solution specialist/product manager of cloud and data center services.
